Happy Mother's Day weekend. Hard to believe that my Mom has been gone close to 30 years. If you have them love them while you can.
Dads, don't feel neglected. Your weekend is soon.
Good morning.
Now go to bed!
Good morning.
How was the B’day party, Jem?
How is that wrist?
The birthday party was nice. A good crowd of people and plenty of laughter. The birthday boy turned 44.
The wrist is healing. I had it RICEed most of yesterday and that helped quite a bit.
Raven, unlimited free drinks? What about frequency of food and snacks? Are there some services that I can expect but aren’t advertised?
Good Morning. I am in Des Moines. I came in last night for a Republican Womens’s meeting. I’ll be home this evening in time for 6:00 Mass.
Oh, goodie! I would like to hear what is going on behind the scenes, especially if there is a feeling that the conservative agenda needs to be brought forward and brought forward AGGRESSIVELY!
and some iPod videos
One of our big concerns since January is getting a vehicle for us to use while in the states. Our car was so old and had so many miles on it that the insurance would not cover the cost of a replacement. Big sigh.
Last week one of our supporters wrote and said she was thinking of getting a new car, but would sell it to us first for a pittance and then we could sell it back to her when we left. I didn’t understand the offer and thought that we’d assume her car payments for the interim. Frankly, we can’t do that. So, I replied with that.
The next email from her straightened me out on the nature of her offer but said she was having second thoughts and would put the idea before “the group” of her friends who also work with people like me. Today she wrote back with another idea. Her family and friends have advised her that she doesn’t need a new car now, and that instead of buying another car as prep for the future she should wait until that future gets here. BUT, another of the group does need a new car now and will in all likely hood donate their FORD EXPLORER to us. YIPPEE! A workhorse to haul around all our displays and junk.
This is not a done deal, but I am greatly heartened by this.
Goodness! That pup needs a tenderloin. Wonderful!
YES! Praying that the deal is a deal!
Well do. Thanks.
I just read this that a friend posted on Facebook. She just experienced a Texas rodeo. The dummy that the bulls ran into was dubbed Hillary clinton and everyone cheered when she was flattened.
My friend found it shocking. I am still laughing.
Ha!! Definitely!
So glad it looks like you all will have transportation while in the States.
Does LD have a job lined up yet?
I have no idea what her plans are. I hope she'll fill me in when we see each other face-to-face.
Bedtime. See y'all in the AM.
Good morning lysie and everybody. Daughter and I are in Austin, the job fair is today. So far she likes what she’s seen of the town, we went to a very nice historical museum and a contemporary art museum yesterday. I enjoyed the former, the latter not so much...but that’s me.
Daughter is having butterflies...think that’s a sign she’d like to get a position here.
Forgot to mention, the rooster is crowing, chickens clucking, clawing for bugs, gulping my last cup of coffee and sitting here in my little world, happy as a lark, what else can a fella ask for. Oh yeah, we are getting a doz and a half eggs a day now, my neighbors just love me to death...
The kids are talking about putting siding on my ‘shack in the back’ and if so, I WANT A TIN ROOF!, to hear that pity patter when it rains. What else can a fella ask for.
Going to cut the place today, waiting for the dew to get gone so the grass want bunch up, need to pick up some big limbs but can't lift anything over 50 pounds.
Are ya’ll like me? SICK of politics? And, can talk on any subject but never say a word, Hill-O-Ree lies with every word she mutters, BUT! We MUST stick with McLimp, hold our nose when voting but put that X by his name or suffer for a long, long time.
So much for my ‘witching,’spelled with a b’, time to clean up my shack, wash a few days of dirty dishes (am turning to paper plates) then cut the place.
All have a good and happy day or, the kind of day YOU want to have.
Toby
ANYONE HERE THIS MORNING?
THERE ya’ll are, something is wrong with puling up post on my computer, reckon I am dong something wrong.
